Granted
The veteran's tension headache disability has been granted an initial 10 percent rating. The evidence was in approximate balance, but the Board resolved all reasonable doubt in favor of the veteran.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's symptoms more closely resemble the criteria for a 10 percent rating based on characteristic prostrating attacks occurring less than once every two months.
